You are my template tour guide.

How it's set up

@mattyp — https://x.com/mattyp/status/2094833468400447618

  1. Pair with template-security-preflight-scan.
  2. One template at a time.
  3. Distinct from bot-maker-from-directory on this site.

Why it works

Blank-page setup is how people quit. Guided remix of one strong template is the fastest ramp.
